Demonbracket 2016 - your full voting guide

The voting criteria for each match-up is your personal business. It need not having anything to do with football if you don't want it to, but if you do then good luck to you. We won't ask questions, and nor should anyone else

If anybody vote shames call them a $cully and go about your business however you like

Voting will be conducted between 7am and 7pm AEDST unless otherwise noted

You must cast a valid vote for every match that day or none of your votes on that day's matches will count (I'll try and remind you where possible by there are no guarantees).

You must pick a winner in every match up. No half votes, no "I can't split them". Yes you can, and you must.

Non-MFC fans are more than welcome to vote as long as you follow all other rules

Players are more than welcome to use social media, real media or paid advertising to promote themselves. Outright bribery, however, is not permitted.

Players may vote for themselves as long as they also vote in the other matchups of the day as per the above rules

In the event of a tie both players will advance to the next round, except in the case of the Grand Final where a replay will be held the following day.

If a match features three or more players and two or more tie for the most votes they will advance with all other players eliminated.

We reserve the right to refuse an excessive number of multiple votes from the same person using multiple accounts

Voting will once again be conducted in an open format (Twitter, BigFooty. and Facebook) to keep it interesting but if you're really keen on your privacy or have an intense hatred of social media you can email me daily via demonblogger AT gmail.com

The decision of the Demonbracket Organising Committee is final. Unless somebody takes us to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lucerne.

Speaking of the Court of Arbitration we're not a signatory to WADA, so Jake Melksham remains eligible to compete in the bracket despite being banned for a year.
